Gardening & Permaculture
Thursdays, 12pm-5pm
Eastside Roots
Connecting communities & developing skills
Eastside Roots was developed out of a Bristol Permaculture Group idea to provide a ‘gardening hub’ for the local community while at the same time rejuvenating a piece of derelict land in Easton. They welcome anyone wanting to help out, whether it be to gain skills and knowledge about horticulture and sustainable living or just to meet other like-minded people.
They rejuvenated the Trinity Gardens through regular volunteer workdays, growing a variety of plants, veg, fruits and flowers.
